I eat salads. I am careful and take small bites and chew very well, so I have never had a problem. If something is stringy and doesn't chew up well (celery), I put it aside on my plate. Be sure to have Protein be a major part of your salad so you are getting the nutrition you need.

I've had salad...We were eating out and I was looking for something I could eat. I had it with tuna on top (for protein). It was Yummy! And I had No problems. I had a fill a week ago and feel restriction so I haven't tried salad again since the fill.

i am starting my 6th week tomorrow so that means hard solids. this past week i've been testing solids , and i tried salad. I was scared at first but chewed well. I did not get lettuce because it intimidates me more than cucumbers and tomatoes. But everything went down fine.

Try it !

I was actually happy to have salad

Goodluck

I eat a lot of spinach in my salads. I put all sorts of other stuff in them too, including chicken. Salads seem to go down fine, but iceberg lettuce has no nutrition, so I use spinach leaves.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
